Here I Am: Now What on Earth Should I Be Doing?

By Quentin J. Schultze

Book Overview

Struggling to discern God's call is not uncommon. Many people wrestle with understanding what God has planned for them. Here I Am solves part of the mystery by distinguishing between one's shared vocation and particular life stations. Stations include jobs, situations, and relationships, and they change often. But vocation, for Christians especially, remains the same-to apply faith as caretakers of God's world. Here I Am explains how to be caring followers of Jesus in every station of life. It offers practical ways to strive for excellence, celebrate leisure, nurture community, and cultivate a legacy. This book is for students, those seeking satisfaction in their work, and anyone seeking a renewed sense of God's call. They will discover how to care about and for the world, participating in God's renewal of all things.

Helpful Guide

I found this book to be extremely helpful in determining priorities in my life. Schultze does an excellent job at getting to the heart of the matter, as well as convicting the reader to examine the meanings of community, vocation, leisure, etc. As a recent college graduate, I find that this book helped me realize that finding a place in this world means more than finding a career.

Great Read

I read this book to prepare for a post-graduate job search. The vocational advice is wise and useful. I really enjoyed the calling that Schultze emphasizes when looking for a vocation. All jobs are opportunities to serve if we learn to have our hearts and minds in the right places. I recommend this book not only for college and post graduate readers, but for anyone searching to recharge their passion for serving others and God.
